9 In order to create a mirror of your hard drive, both disks must be dynamic disks. By default
all drives are basic. To determine which format your disks are, look for either “Basic” or
Dynamic” below the disk number.
10 To convert your disks to dynamic disks, select the disk or disks at the bottom of the screen
and select
Action > All Tasks > Convert to Dynamic Disk.
11 Select the disks you want to convert, then click
OK.
If you are converting Disk 0, follow the prompts to reboot your system. Once the system
has been rebooted, log into the Management Console and re-enter the RAID-1 applet. You
should now see that the disks are dynamic disks.
12 Click the
C: partition on Disk 0.
13 Select
Action > All Tasks > Add Mirror.
If the command is dimmed, your new hard drive is not blank. Follow the instructions in
“Clearing an old hard drive” on page 23-38, then return to step 9.
